Pedrosa Has Plate Inserted In Collarbone, Still Uncertain For Barcelona

Dani Pedrosa has finally made a decision. After two days in hospital mulling over the best course of action, Pedrosa has finally decided to have surgery to have a titanium plate fitted to fix his right collarbone, just a month after having surgery to have the plate in his left collarbone removed.

Pedrosa faced two options: do nothing, and treat the collarbone by immobilization, hoping it would heal naturally, and face a recovery period of at least a month. Alternatively, he could have a plate fitted, with a very good chance he would be fit to take part in the next MotoGP at the Barcelona track in Montmelo.

Under normal circumstances, the choice is very quickly made: surgery is the fastest way to return to racing. However, Pedrosa's last experience with surgery was horrendous, leaving the Spaniard with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the plate partially obstructing the main artery supplying blood to his left arm. Pedrosa was hugely relieved to have that plate removed, and having a new one fitted will be a mental strain.
